How do I set up Qmail to accept incoming messages only from the EuropeanMX servers?

To limit the delivery of incoming messages in Qmail to the servers of EuropeanMX, please follow the steps below:

Qmail - TCPServer

If you use Qmail in conjunction with tcpserver, you can add the following rule under etc/tcp.smtp so that all incoming connections are accepted by EuropeanMX.

=delivery.antispamcloud.com:allow,RELAYCLIENT=''

Qmai - Inetd

If you run Qmail as an inetd service using tcp-env, the entire configuration of SMTP access is done from the following files: /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Do not forget to add your own SMTP clients to /etc/hosts.allow.

1

Add the following line to file /etc/hosts.allow:

tcp-env: .antispamcloud.com: setenv = RELAYCLIENT

2

Add the following line to file /etc/hosts.deny:

tcp-env: ALL

This prevents all incoming connections except the one specified via the file in step 1.
